The work Le Thérapeute by René Magritte was sold in the Impressionist and Modern Art Evening Sale auction at Christies in New York in May 2019. The »bidding war« ended at USD 2,655,000.00 (€ 2,381,379.50), 33% above the upper estimate. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by René Magritte achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work L’empire des lumières in March last year with an auction result of GBP 59,422,000.00 (€ 70,451,468.85).
Oberer Schätzpreis um 33 % übertroffen
Die Arbeit Le Thérapeute von René Magritte wurde im Mai 2019 in der Auktion Impressionist and Modern Art Evening Sale bei Christies in New York versteigert. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von USD 2.655.000,00 (€ 2.381.379,50) und damit 33% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von René Magritte erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit L’empire des lumières im März letzten Jahres mit einem Auktionsergebnis von GBP 59.422.000,00 (€ 70.451.468,85).
